Flower Challenge #9 and Magazine Makes #7

Hello again! It's time for another challenge over at The Flower Challenge and this month, it's Anything Goes.

So you can give yourself free reign and have lots of flowery fun this month. Here's my card:

I get quite a lot of flower stamps and dies with my magazine subscription and this is from issue 162, the most recent. I took the main flower image and stamped it in archival ink onto some scrap watercolour card. I then took the vase and stamped it onto a small square of watercolour card and added the stems in as well.I coloured them all in with my new Daniel Smith watercolour dot card. The colours are lovely and I've been trying the wet on wet technique since watching my friend Lisa's recent video. She's definitely streets ahead of me with it!

I die cut the frame from dark grey card stock and glued it around the vase and after fussy cutting the flowers I adhered them to the stems using foam pads. I wanted them to look as if they were coming out of the frame.I cut the panel to fit the frame and then adhered it to a light yellow card base - must be something about grey and yellow at the moment with me!I like to have a few cards to hand without any sentiments just for sending and for adding sentiments to later as I can then decide what I need at the time. Here is a list of the supplies used on this card. I have signed up to affiliate links on some products.
